Netflix has introduced a new feature that allows iOS users to download an entire season of their favorite shows with just one tap. This much-requested feature, already available on Android since 2021, is now accessible for all iPhone and iPad users.
Convenience for on-the-go streaming
The new Season Download button enables iOS users to download all episodes of a show’s season in one go, eliminating the need to download each episode individually.
“Whether you're gearing up for a long flight, a cross-country train ride, or just planning some downtime offline, this feature has you covered with just the click of a button,” Netflix announced.
How to use the Season download feature
Users can find the Season Download button on a show’s display page, located next to the Share option. By tapping the button, the entire season will begin downloading automatically. To manage downloads, users can visit the Downloads section under the My Netflix tab.
Most downloaded shows of all time
Alongside the feature’s launch, Netflix also revealed the most downloaded seasons in its history. The top five most downloaded seasons include:
Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story
Queen Charlotte: A Bridgerton Story
Bringing parity across platforms
The Season Download feature was first introduced for Android users in 2021. With its rollout on iOS, Netflix aims to provide a seamless viewing experience for all users, regardless of their device.
With this update, Netflix continues to enhance offline viewing, ensuring that binge-watchers can enjoy their favorite series without interruptions, no matter where they are.
Strong subscriber growth in Q4
Netflix reported a significant surge in subscribers during the October-December quarter, adding nearly 19 million new users. This growth pushed its total subscriber base past the 300 million mark, reflecting strong momentum during the holiday season.
Price hikes in US, Canada
Netflix also revealed price increases across all subscription tiers in select markets, including the United States, Canada, Portugal, and Argentina. The company cited ongoing investments in content and platform enhancements as the reason for the price adjustments.
